How your child learns to code in Pramondo.

Everyone starts with The Shell. Its Act 1 is free. It teaches the command line: printing text, looking around, moving between folders, making files, variables and input.

Python opens after The Shell. Act 1 covers print, variables, strings and input. Each idea comes back in new settings and in practice rounds, so it sticks. See the courses.

• Your child never types a name or an email. Pramondo gives them a codename.
• A ticket of five words opens the save on another device. It is not a password tied to a person.
• No ads, no trackers, and no third-party scripts. Fonts are served by Pramondo too.
• In a class, the teacher sees the codename and the progress, nothing else. Read the privacy page.

Act 1 of each course is free. If your child is not in a class, a parent pass unlocks the later acts. Your child types its code in the Enter code box.

A parent pass can carry your email. Then, if the ticket is lost, a link to new ticket words can be mailed to you. Checkout is not on sale yet.

Is it free?

Act 1 of The Shell and Act 1 of Python are free. Later acts need a class pass from a teacher or a parent pass.

What age is it for?

Middle school, about 11 to 14. No coding experience is needed.

Does my child need an account or an email?

No. Your child gets a codename and a ticket of five words. Write the ticket down somewhere safe.

Is it in English?

Yes. The course is in plain English, with short sentences.

Does it help a child with dyslexia?

It has dyslexia-friendly reading. Each of the Architect’s sentences goes on its own line, with more space between letters, words and lines. It turns on by itself when the ticket words are often misspelled, and a teacher can turn it on or off. Nothing on screen tells your child. It is not a diagnosis.

What does my child need?

A computer with a current web browser and a keyboard.
